I have one of these
(05
Bracket)
but forgot who I promised to send it to. lol
06 is bolted to the turbo and 05 carries the load by being bolted to the block.

The fretted bearings are Aluminum. Comp Turbo wants to go brass next. They said there was evidence of some heat but it doesn't look like oil starvation to my uneducated eye. More like wobble.
Any chance you could put a micrometer on yours for verification?

Car is running well but smokes blue terribly after idling for 2- 3 minutes. The turbo was rebuilt last year so I'm a little confused. Oil drops forming on the bottom of the compressor housing. The piston rings should be sealing oil from compressor since there aren't "seals" - right or wrong?
Just trying to rule out causes.
1) Drain backing up in the return line- The turbo drain is clocked perpendicular to prevent pooling. I do have an ad hoc oil pan but the return line is the same diam as original. Question: Was there an oil restriction in the head or was flow to turbo limited by the small diam feed line and banjo bolts?
2) Ingestion - Could the turbo have ingested something and compromised the bearing or piston rings?
The plan
A) pull air cleaner and check for turbine shaft wobble
B Yank turbo and check ex- manifold for signs of leak
C) Verify no oil escapes from oil pan return banjo when car is sitting on the ground.
